Police said Robitaille smelled of alcohol and failed a field-sobriety test.

Robitaille apologized in a prepared statement.

"I take full responsibility for my actions," Robitaille said. "Most importantly, I am profoundly grateful that this situation did not result in harm coming to anyone else. I apologize to my family, the entire Martin Health System organization and to the community we serve. The public nature of these charges reflects poorly on me, and I apologize for any embarrassment this brings to our organization as the process moves through the legal system."

Robitaille went on to say that his arrest "was an isolated event" and pledged that it wouldn't happen again.

George Lehach, chairman of the Martin Health System Board of Directors, said in a statement that the organization "will continue to move forward under Mark's leadership and provide the same exceptional care that we have provided to our community for nearly 75 years."
